i LAS jis WeillY known; various attempts have been madeitojproride 'a .eine for smoking tobacco which would be -of' a rConstruction 12.05 .Prevent the altranfsev @if .Partidas olf .to-

fbafcco or nicotine nto the stem for mou-ththe ,mouth -Off the smQl-Ien These .efforts "te vercojme `the obiestionable features, which are [inherent to v,pipe smoking, have been largely unsuccessful `by .reasonf the fact that "the rvstructures which werelevolvped were more or less complicated, so thatthe cost of Aproduction rendered the manufacture and Vmarketing' of the articles unproiitf able. p e

The primary object 'ofthe present inven-V tion is to provide alpipe for smoking tobacco which isof a simple construction, so

that it may be'economicallyr produced, and

which embodiesa structurewhich will posi-1v tively vprevent the introduction of particles of tobaccogand nicotine laden moisture intoy Y- the mouthpiece or stem of the pipe, and will,

in addition, insure a perfect draft and a "cool and refr'eshingsmoke. invention further contemplates asmokers pipe havingl the aforesai-d characteristics and' advantages which may be readily cleaned, so that it mayv at `all .times be maintained at its highest efficiency, in carrying outthe objects'of my Y invention,y and thereby overcoming the eX- Vtremely objectionable features which are now'present i-n pipe smoking,

Other objects and advantages of my invention .Will present themselves-as the de-v scription proceeds, and I would have It' understood that I reserve unto myself all rights to the full frange vof equivalents, vboth in structure and use, to whichvvI may be en titled under my invention in its broadest aspect.V Y Y Y For the purposes of the,presentdisclosure, Ihave illustrated a. preferred embodiment of my invention, but my. invention maytake other forms without `'departing from the spiritV and scope thereof 'asv defined by 'the appended claim. v Y Y u Inithe drawings: Y

i The vstemr8 isjformed 'with the usual smoke passage or duct 8a which communi- Cates .withV the chamber or passage l2 i forme-d by the spaced partitions 13 andflll,

A longitudinal drilling through the stem 8, continued into the solid portion remaining between chamber 7a andl 7l?, will result in the formation of the aforesaid partitions, and provide a smoke duct or passage, as clearly showny in Fig. 2, or, if desired, the Space between the partitions may he` enlarged to provide a chamber', such as heretofore described.

,Following ,the formation Vof 'the partitions 13 and 14, each of them is apertured as shown at l'an-d 16, the apertures of each set, it will be noted, being inalinement with' f Y -1oo those of the other set. y Y. Y

The outer `end. -of the stem 8 may be threaded or otherwiseformed to receive the usual mouthpiece 17 so'that the'latter may he readily removedfor the purpose of fay y cilitating cleaning of the pipe, when that is found necessary. i

It will be evident from the description off-my invention that, when the tobacco Y" tobacco ignitedycombustion may bereadily maintained by the air passing through the tobacco in the usual manner, the smoke be-V ing'draivn'throughl the openings 15in the partition 13 and out through'the-stern S'Iand mouthpiece 17.- Any nioisture or products .of combustion which percolatethrough the openings'1'),A instead of being drawn into theVV i 'tor and being cylindrical Well havingrits l axis lsubstantially parallel to the'i'rst-Inentioned Well, andthefint'erinediate comparti stein 8, will drop or' fall through the open'- ings 16 in the partition 14CV Aand into the collection chamber 7b. Thusth'efuser i's assured that, particles 03E-,tobacco and the nicotine laden moisture which are heavier than Sfso that a clean cool sinoltev will result.
